Uh, change in plans. I've been fiddling around with the 24V motors I have on hand and they appear to be VERY demagnetized. I didn't notice this until I picked up a set of smaller steppers and noticed a drastic difference in resistance. So now I have to get myself decent steppers. I'm not going back to the local surplus store, I'll just get the same problem (dozens of steppers all piled in the same box). I'm going to buy larger motors for the CNC machine later, but for now, I'm looking for decent intermediate motors that will make my drilling station work as well as machine wood and plastics. I was checking these pulls from Xylotex: http://www.xylotex.com/DoubleStepper.htm Problem is now I have to reconsider a totally new driver circuit 'cause these are bipolar steppers. Can I modify my schematic without TOO much trouble? Or am I better using a new design? Argh, back to square one... Robert :( (schematic in the CNC folder of the Files section of the group.
